Inactive Hazardous Sites Program:
New Rules for Industrial Sites
Cleanups at industrial sites can now qualify for remediation using risk-based cleanup standards. Certain site conditions and the proposed remediation strategy must fit the guidance of this new program in order to be eligible. The new rules are part of legislation passed in NC General Statues N.C.G.S. 130A-310.65 to 310.77 and apply to groundwater remediation in the IHSB (Inactive Hazardous Sites Branch) program and other hazardous waste programs.
To implement the strategy, a clear assessment of the extent of contamination must be complete along with all potential exposure routes identified and evaluated. The contamination must be contained on site at the start of the risk-based remediation. An eligibility application must be filled out with appropriate technical data, and a site specific application fee must be paid for the site.
The implementation of these rules is complex. Pyramid, as a DENR designated Registered Environmental Consultant (REC), can provide additional details and interpretation concerning your site. If this program looks like it will work for you or you just want to investigate the possibilities, please contact Doug Canavello, LG or Mike Jones LG, RSM, at (336) 335-3174. We would be glad to discuss the current status of your project.

USDA Remediation
Pyramid was selected to provide remediation of a USDA property in eastern North Carolina. The property was a former Underground Storage Tank facility that was damaged from heavy flooding in the spring of 2011.
Pyramid provided a cost effective strategy and accomplished the clean-up within months. The site is now eligible for closure and has received a No Further Action agreement from the NCDENR.
